Ok, so I just made my ressies with MJ for Jan 1 - Jan 13, 2008 and since my 180 day mark is July 5th, which is the day we are back in reality from our hotel only trip to the World I immediately began to plan on our dining. We do not usually do a lot of TS but not for lack of wanting to. Since most of us will be there for 13 days (Lou will be joining us on the 5th) I am figuring we will have more time to enjoy the restaurants. Plus the kids are starting to eat better so it won't be as big a waste.
So I went from Jan 2007 park schedule for an estimate so days can and will be changed around if needed. Please give me any feedback on any and all of my choices and times...
Oh, and we will have the DDE to curb expense by 20% at many most of our eating ventures!
Tuesday---1/1/07
We'll either bring breakfast with us to the airport or get McDonalds while waiting. This is our usual routine.
Mama Melrose at around 4pm. We did this on our first trip with Tyler six years ago. We were not impressed at the time but my mom was there and we were having a real bad time back then so maybe it was us. I hear many up and down reviews about it but I think we want to give it another go. I was not going to get the Fantasmic package because I don't want to be limited in menu choices but I am thinking since it is New Years Day, maybe it would be a good idea...whadaya think???
I figured we'll grab snacks at MGM and/or back at Everything POP.
Wednesday---1/2/08
Breakfast at Ohana around 11am. This is new for us but basic enough that I have no doubt about the enjoyment factor here!
Snack at AK for lunch.
Dinner at Narccoossee's around 8pm. I wanted to do this after Lou get there but there is just too many other choices! This will be a new experience for us but I have heard so many good things!
Thursday---1/3/08
Breakfast at the Main Street Bakery. This will be new for us for breakfast, we usually just get desserts. I am looking forward to the French Toast Loaf...I think it sounds like something we will all like. Is it terribly crowded here in the morning like it is in the evening?
Lunch at Columbia Harbor House. This is a new one for us but you guys all give such rave reviews, I had to try it! The tuna sandwich sounds delish!
Dinner at The Plaza. I have been wanting to try this for a long time but Lou is not much of a sandwick guy so he has been avoiding it so I figured we'd go before he got there!
Friday---1/4/08Breakfast at Everything Pop. We love the Pop food court!
Restaurant Marrakesh at about 11am. Lou has not need to even try this place but I am extremely curious. I have tried the CS place in Morocco and the food was pretty good so I think we will like the TS one. Needless to say, we planned it for when Lou is not there.
For dinner we will either eat around World Showcase or at on of the Future World CS places.
Saturday---1-5-08 [Daddy arrives!!!
We will breakfast at Everything Pop again.
Lunch will be at Restaurantosaurus...I am sure the kids will be jonesing for for McNuggets by then!
Citricos for dinner around 8pm. We have never been here but in our quest to venture out, we find this place on the top of our list. It was actually between Citricos and Narcoossee's for waiting for Lou and Citricos won out. I am not sure why exactly but it did!
Sunday---1-6-08
Breakfast at Hollywood & Vine around 11am. We loved this one in November so we will repete it!
We'll snack for lunch.
Dinner probably at Backlot. This is our second favorite CS at MGM next to Pizza Planet so if the kids have their way we will be changing it.
Monday---1/7/08
Breakfast in the Castle (hopefully) around 8am. We have never been and we are all excited to do this one. We were going to last year but I figured I wanted to wait until Skye could fully appreciate it...now's the time!
Lunch at the Noodle Terrace hopefully...we loved this place the one time we were able to eat there...it is usually closed when we are there!
Dinner probably at Pecos Bill or Casey's depending on where we are and what we are doing.
Tuesday---1/8/08
Breakfast at Everything Pop again.
Lunch at Coral Reef at the first seating to maximize prime table chances and to minimize wait time...and yes, we believe there are bad seats! But we live the place...food, decor, atmosphere, and most of the time wait staff!
Dinner will be around World Showcase...if Lou could just do this he'd be a happy man! He'd eat his way around the world everyday if we'd let him!
Wednesday---1/9/08
Breakfast at the new Tuskerhouse around 10am. We are sad to see it leave as a CS so we are hoping for something great but we'll see...we did love Donald's before so if this is taking it's place maybe we won't be disappointed!
Lunch at Pizzafari.
Dinner at Kona Cafe around 8pm. Due to all the fabulous reviews on here I have wanted to go to Kona for our last two trips and it just did not work out but it will this time!
Thursday---1-10-08
Breakfast again at Main Street Bakery.
Lunch at Rose & Crown around 11am. We have never been but when Lou thinks of Epcot and maybe even WDW in general the first thing he thinks of is Fish & Chips!
Dinner at Seasons...love it!
Friday---1-11-08
Breakfast at Everything Pop again.
Lunch at Pizza Planet (probably again!)
Dinner at Brown Derby. I have been trying to get this one in for a long time too so I finally have...at least in theory, I'll let you know if it makes it for the long haul!
Saturday---1-12-08
Breakfast at Everything Pop yet again!
Lunch at the new Yak & Yeti (hopefully) around 11am.
Dinner around WS or at DD.
Sunday---1-13-08
Breakfast at Chef Mickey's around 11am. We loved this breakfast in December 2007 so had to do it again. Plus we will be near GF so we can run over and get our Photopass CD afterwards and then head to MK.
Lunch at Casey's Corner. Another of our favorites!
And Dinner will be McDonalds at the airport as usual!
